Keep Britain Tidy campaign. 1972

The first 1972 cinema film of Steptoe and Son is currently showing from time to time on the Talking Pictures TV channel, I remember seeing it at the cinema, it was quite a novelty back than to see films based on popular b&w TV series appear on the big screen in colour! (eg. Thunderbirds, Dr Who & the Daleks, On the Buses, etc).
Steptoe & Son Talking Pictures TV Sky 328, Freesat 81, Virgin 445 and Freesat 306:-

I think one of them is John Cooper's wife.

Always nice to see those Goodwood pics, especially in colour ;)

That’s not Christabel, looks more like Patricia McLaren.
